Introducing Dream Machine - a next generation video model for creating high quality, realistic shots from text instructions and images using AI. It’s available to everyone today! Try for free here https://t.co/rBVWU50kTc #LumaDreamMachine
📽️ New 4 hour (lol) video lecture on YouTube:
"Let’s reproduce GPT-2 (124M)"
https://t.co/QTUdu8b0qh
The video ended up so long because it is... comprehensive: we start with empty file and end up with a GPT-2 (124M) model:
- first we build the GPT-2 network
- then we optimize it to train very fast
- then we set up the training run optimization and hyperparameters by referencing GPT-2 and GPT-3 papers
- then we bring up model evaluation, and
- then cross our fingers and go to sleep.
In the morning we look through the results and enjoy amusing model generations. Our "overnight" run even gets very close to the GPT-3 (124M) model. This video builds on the Zero To Hero series and at times references previous videos. You could also see this video as building my nanoGPT repo, which by the end is about 90% similar.

Chapters.
On a high level Section 1 is building up the network, a lot of this might be review. Section 2 is making the training fast. Section 3 is setting up the run. Section 4 is the results. In more detail:

03:56:21 shoutout to llm.c, equivalent but faster code in raw C/CUDA
03:59:39 summary, phew, build-nanogpt github repo
Introducing Meta Llama 3: the most capable openly available LLM to date.
Today we’re releasing 8B & 70B models that deliver on new capabilities such as improved reasoning and set a new state-of-the-art for models of their sizes.
Today's release includes the first two Llama 3 models — in the coming months we expect to introduce new capabilities, longer context windows, additional model sizes and enhanced performance + the Llama 3 research paper for the community to learn from our work.
